ALBANY, N. Y. (WNS)—-Uso of the facilities of Nntion.il Guard regimenla by NiiKi, Fascist and other un-American groups waa permanently outlawed by Governor Lehman in a series of drastic In¬ structions to the National Guard ordering members of the New York State National Guard immediately lo dissociate themaclvra from "any so-called nationalistic group or non-American political or racial cause." Acting on the disclosure of tbo New York Post that mem¬ bers of the 241 Coast Artillery had attended in uniform a Fascist ball sponaored Jiy While Buaainn Fascists in cooperation with Nazis aboard the naval training ship S. S. IllInoIa.GovornorliCbman iaaued hia orders in a lottor to Adjutant General Walter G. Eobinaon of the National Guard, after Major-Gen- oral William N. Haskell, command¬ ing-general of the New York Na¬ tional Guard had investigated the situation and drawn up n series of recommendations adopted by the Governor. Governor Lehman's let¬ ter contained the following orders which wero the recommendations proposed by General Haskell i "(1) No meetings of this char¬ acter should be permitted in an armory under tho control or su- porvlaion of the division of mili¬ tary and naval affairs, thus giv¬ ing to such meetings or functions ollicial sanction.
"<2) No officer or enlisted man of tho National Guard, should ap¬ pear in uniform at a gathering of thia character, either in an armory or elsewhere, and orders to that elTect should be issued.
"(3) In ihe future all leases of armories should be, carefully scrutinized by officer in charge, so that, if necessary, protective clauses will be inserted in leases to prevent any demonstrations or displays of uniforma, flaga,^ em¬ blems, or posters of a controvcr- slal character, or the aale or dis¬ tribution of controversial litera¬ ture. \
"(4) It ia recommended that ordera bo issued by the Adjutant General of tho State, and diatrl- butcd to every commanding olficcr, requiring them to inform all per¬ sonnel of their commands that thoy must, under no circumstancca, employ their status as National Guardsmen to further or promote any so-called nationalistic group or non-American political or racial cause, and that they must at all times maintain a clear distinction between thier private civilian sta¬ tus and their offfciol status as Ka- tlonal Guardsmen.
"(B) Notwithstanding tho fact that members of this so-called 'Russian battery' are native bom or naturalized American citizens, nnd that in this particular incident they had the permission of their commanding ofllccr to attend the ball aboard tho U. S. S. Illinois, and further, that the battery is rated as a very efllcient and sol¬ dierly organization. 1 recommend that tho so-called 'Russian Bat¬ tery' (the Second Battalion Head¬ quarters Battery and Combat Train, 241th Coast Artillery) be reorganized. The personnel should bedistributcd proportionate¬ ly among all tho batteries of the regiment by transfer.
"(0) I further i-ecommend that the continued use of such dcaigna- tions as 'Russian battery' or the prefixing of any similar non-Amer¬ ican or foreign designation to tho namo of any unit within a regi¬ ment of the National Guard or the Naval Militia be eliminated. Such designations aro most certainly undesirable in tho military forces of the Stato of New York und tho United States."

3,000 Jews Ousted
From German Culture
Since 193S
BERLIN (WNS)—Nearly 3,000 Jews have been removed from German cultural life ainco 1933, Propaganda Miniater Jaieph Goeb- bels boasted in a report rendered at tha fourth annual session of tho Reich Culture Chamber, which was featured by the playing of the long-lost 'violin concerto of Ro¬ bert Schumann, originally suppos¬ ed to havc_bcen given its contem¬ porary world premiere in the Unit¬ ed States by Yehudi Menuhin. In the course of his addreas, which followed the' playing of the concer¬ to by George Kulcnkampff, who was given the distinction ot play¬ ing Drat rather than permit the young American Je^vish virtuose to do so, Goebbels said "no Jew writes in any German newspaper today, and newspapers still ap¬ pear, more numerous and tbetter made up. No Jews appear on the German atage. Despite thia, thea¬ tres play and are filled na never befoie. In no film is there a Jew, yet we produce moro successful filitia than ever.
NEW YORK (WNS)—Donj-ing disappointment in not having been permitted to be tho first to play Robert Schumann's lost violin con¬ certo an honor, which had at first been promiaed to him, Yehudi Menuhin vowed never to play the concerto or any other number in Germany before he could play Men- dclaaohn and appear with Bruno Walter, German-Jewish conductor, both of whom ate under the ban in Germany. ¦
' Speaking before the Temple nnd Synagogue Brotherhoods of Balti¬ more, Md,, on Sunday, Dec. 19th, 1937, Samuel Untermyer, preai¬ dent of tho Non-Sectarian Antl- Nnzl IjCnguc placed tho reaponsl- bility of the future boycott movc- mont against Nazi Germany squarely on the shoulders of Am¬ erican Christians,
Speaking with great force about the continued elTorta of Nazi lead- era to dcatroy tho Christian Church in Germany, Mr, Untermyer said: "Any Christian who buys goods made in Germ.my or who travels on a German ship, or who deals with a store that sella German goods ia a party to the plot to destroy his religion In Germany, and to that extent to help bring nbout the downfall of Chiiatianlty throughout the world."
Referring to the recent letter to Hitler of the Protestant Chap¬ lains .jot tho German army and tho more recent Paatoral lottcr of Count Konrad von Prcysing of the Dioceao of Berlin, Mr, Untermyer declared that there was no longer any doubt, even on the part of re¬ ligious leaders of all denominations in Germany, that the Nazi Govern¬ ment is waging a comprehensive campaign to destroy German Christianity.
"i cannot underatand why Catho- Ilca, Proteatants, Organized Labor, Rotariana, Masona and Americans generally have been so indolent, callous and shortsighted as to have failed long since to effect a mutual protective organization to .safe¬ guard civilization, or why they per¬ mit this perilous situation aimless¬ ly to drift, when they havo within easy reach the means of aelfi-pro- lection for themselves and their brethren in Germany—by the sim¬ ple expedient of the boycott ot Ger¬ man goods and services."

Eabbi Barnett R. Brickner, Na¬ tional Chaplain, wilt make the prin¬ cipal address at tha 23 Annual Con- vention of Sigma Alpha Mu Frater¬ nity which is convening in Cleve- land December 29 to 31 inclusive. Sigma Alpha Mn is one of the old¬ est Jewish collegiate organizations In tho United State!) and Cantida, comprising 6000 membeis in forty chapters.
Activities ot Sigma Alpha Mn cover a, wide social and welfare field, including an (innuol achieve¬ ment award, which will be present cd this year nt tho Convention Banquet in Cleveland. Tho Com¬ mittee ' of Award, conalsting ot twelve fratres throughout the country, is now Reviewing the ac- complishmenta of tho various can' didatos to determine tho winner for this year. The medallion Is a masterpiece from the -workshop ot Alva Nelson, famous medal- lieur. Tho Sigma Alpha Mu Frat¬ ernity Av/ard is cenaidercd a great honor not only by the fraternity world but by the public in general, Other work of the fraternity Is Its active interest in the rehabilitating of German refugees, eapeclsDy col¬ lege students who have been ex¬ iled before completion of their school courses. A number ot these former German students have been admitted to American collegeB to complete their studies.
Among prominent members of Sigma Alpha Mu is its President, Benjamin Schwartz of New York, who is head of the American In¬ stitute of Scritp Iron and Steel, and Harry Joo Brov/n, nationally- famous motion picturo director. Others include Irving FInenian,
Mr. Untermyer olTered nnmeronn qnot,itionis of oiliciul Nnzl pro¬ nouncements to prove that the Na¬ zi anti-ChristInn policy is one of the underlying motives of National Socialiam. Ho quoted Hitler aa saying; "It can ho chown that with the appearance of Christianity, ic-< liglous terrorism first' camo into being; and thoi'e is no getting away from tho'fact that tho v/oild haa since coerced nnd dominated by this force, and that force can ha broken only with force and' terror with terror."
Returning to the boycott themo, Mr. Untermyer said;
'It is dl,aloyal,for any Ameiican to buy German goods or to patron¬ ize Gorman sbipa—either for paa- Bonger or freight Dcrvice. 'Dealing with the enemy* is ns traitorous in times of economic war as in times of moro violent forms of warfare. I havo nothing but loathing and contempt for a man of our race (of whom there are unfortunately some in high places) who is so lost to all dictates of sclt-Tespcct, self- preservation and common decency as to traffic as Importer and dia- tribulor of German goods, to aliip goods by oy to travel on German ships, whero he Is studiously mind¬ ed that ho i\ socially beneath the servants whom ho pays to wait upon him. Imagine, if you can, a man who is so callous as to bo willing by choico to travel under the foul flag of the swastika, whero be has be'en pronounced unfit for human asaociation nnd which de¬ nounces and punlahes him by a heavy prison aentence aa a criminal' for matxying ot consorting with a non-Jewish woman. It Is an in* suit to a Jew and a non-Jew allkd to associate with such an excres>. ccnce ot his race. Be diligently on the lookout for sueh crostunig."
author of "Hear Ye Sons," Leo¬ nard S. Levy, Troasnrer of tho City of Cleveland, and Benny Friedman, former Michigan foot¬ ball star, many of whom will nt- tendthcconvcntion sessions. Rab¬ bi.

ALBANY, N. Y. (WNS)—-Uso of the facilities of Nntion.il Guard regimenla by NiiKi, Fascist and other un-American groups waa permanently outlawed by Governor Lehman in a series of drastic In¬ structions to the National Guard ordering members of the New York State National Guard immediately lo dissociate themaclvra from "any so-called nationalistic group or non-American political or racial cause." Acting on the disclosure of tbo New York Post that mem¬ bers of the 241 Coast Artillery had attended in uniform a Fascist ball sponaored Jiy While Buaainn Fascists in cooperation with Nazis aboard the naval training ship S. S. IllInoIa.GovornorliCbman iaaued hia orders in a lottor to Adjutant General Walter G. Eobinaon of the National Guard, after Major-Gen- oral William N. Haskell, command¬ ing-general of the New York Na¬ tional Guard had investigated the situation and drawn up n series of recommendations adopted by the Governor. Governor Lehman's let¬ ter contained the following orders which wero the recommendations proposed by General Haskell i "(1) No meetings of this char¬ acter should be permitted in an armory under tho control or su- porvlaion of the division of mili¬ tary and naval affairs, thus giv¬ ing to such meetings or functions ollicial sanction.
"<2) No officer or enlisted man of tho National Guard, should ap¬ pear in uniform at a gathering of thia character, either in an armory or elsewhere, and orders to that elTect should be issued.
"(3) In ihe future all leases of armories should be, carefully scrutinized by officer in charge, so that, if necessary, protective clauses will be inserted in leases to prevent any demonstrations or displays of uniforma, flaga,^ em¬ blems, or posters of a controvcr- slal character, or the aale or dis¬ tribution of controversial litera¬ ture. \
"(4) It ia recommended that ordera bo issued by the Adjutant General of tho State, and diatrl- butcd to every commanding olficcr, requiring them to inform all per¬ sonnel of their commands that thoy must, under no circumstancca, employ their status as National Guardsmen to further or promote any so-called nationalistic group or non-American political or racial cause, and that they must at all times maintain a clear distinction between thier private civilian sta¬ tus and their offfciol status as Ka- tlonal Guardsmen.
"(B) Notwithstanding tho fact that members of this so-called 'Russian battery' are native bom or naturalized American citizens, nnd that in this particular incident they had the permission of their commanding ofllccr to attend the ball aboard tho U. S. S. Illinois, and further, that the battery is rated as a very efllcient and sol¬ dierly organization. 1 recommend that tho so-called 'Russian Bat¬ tery' (the Second Battalion Head¬ quarters Battery and Combat Train, 241th Coast Artillery) be reorganized. The personnel should bedistributcd proportionate¬ ly among all tho batteries of the regiment by transfer.
"(0) I further i-ecommend that the continued use of such dcaigna- tions as 'Russian battery' or the prefixing of any similar non-Amer¬ ican or foreign designation to tho namo of any unit within a regi¬ ment of the National Guard or the Naval Militia be eliminated. Such designations aro most certainly undesirable in tho military forces of the Stato of New York und tho United States."

3,000 Jews Ousted
From German Culture
Since 193S
BERLIN (WNS)—Nearly 3,000 Jews have been removed from German cultural life ainco 1933, Propaganda Miniater Jaieph Goeb- bels boasted in a report rendered at tha fourth annual session of tho Reich Culture Chamber, which was featured by the playing of the long-lost 'violin concerto of Ro¬ bert Schumann, originally suppos¬ ed to havc_bcen given its contem¬ porary world premiere in the Unit¬ ed States by Yehudi Menuhin. In the course of his addreas, which followed the' playing of the concer¬ to by George Kulcnkampff, who was given the distinction ot play¬ ing Drat rather than permit the young American Je^vish virtuose to do so, Goebbels said "no Jew writes in any German newspaper today, and newspapers still ap¬ pear, more numerous and tbetter made up. No Jews appear on the German atage. Despite thia, thea¬ tres play and are filled na never befoie. In no film is there a Jew, yet we produce moro successful filitia than ever.
NEW YORK (WNS)—Donj-ing disappointment in not having been permitted to be tho first to play Robert Schumann's lost violin con¬ certo an honor, which had at first been promiaed to him, Yehudi Menuhin vowed never to play the concerto or any other number in Germany before he could play Men- dclaaohn and appear with Bruno Walter, German-Jewish conductor, both of whom ate under the ban in Germany. ¦
' Speaking before the Temple nnd Synagogue Brotherhoods of Balti¬ more, Md,, on Sunday, Dec. 19th, 1937, Samuel Untermyer, preai¬ dent of tho Non-Sectarian Antl- Nnzl IjCnguc placed tho reaponsl- bility of the future boycott movc- mont against Nazi Germany squarely on the shoulders of Am¬ erican Christians,
Speaking with great force about the continued elTorta of Nazi lead- era to dcatroy tho Christian Church in Germany, Mr, Untermyer said: "Any Christian who buys goods made in Germ.my or who travels on a German ship, or who deals with a store that sella German goods ia a party to the plot to destroy his religion In Germany, and to that extent to help bring nbout the downfall of Chiiatianlty throughout the world."
Referring to the recent letter to Hitler of the Protestant Chap¬ lains .jot tho German army and tho more recent Paatoral lottcr of Count Konrad von Prcysing of the Dioceao of Berlin, Mr, Untermyer declared that there was no longer any doubt, even on the part of re¬ ligious leaders of all denominations in Germany, that the Nazi Govern¬ ment is waging a comprehensive campaign to destroy German Christianity.
"i cannot underatand why Catho- Ilca, Proteatants, Organized Labor, Rotariana, Masona and Americans generally have been so indolent, callous and shortsighted as to have failed long since to effect a mutual protective organization to .safe¬ guard civilization, or why they per¬ mit this perilous situation aimless¬ ly to drift, when they havo within easy reach the means of aelfi-pro- lection for themselves and their brethren in Germany—by the sim¬ ple expedient of the boycott ot Ger¬ man goods and services."

Sigma Alpha Mu Frat. To Conveme Dec. 29
Eabbi Barnett R. Brickner, Na¬ tional Chaplain, wilt make the prin¬ cipal address at tha 23 Annual Con- vention of Sigma Alpha Mu Frater¬ nity which is convening in Cleve- land December 29 to 31 inclusive. Sigma Alpha Mn is one of the old¬ est Jewish collegiate organizations In tho United State!) and Cantida, comprising 6000 membeis in forty chapters.
Activities ot Sigma Alpha Mn cover a, wide social and welfare field, including an (innuol achieve¬ ment award, which will be present cd this year nt tho Convention Banquet in Cleveland. Tho Com¬ mittee ' of Award, conalsting ot twelve fratres throughout the country, is now Reviewing the ac- complishmenta of tho various can' didatos to determine tho winner for this year. The medallion Is a masterpiece from the -workshop ot Alva Nelson, famous medal- lieur. Tho Sigma Alpha Mu Frat¬ ernity Av/ard is cenaidercd a great honor not only by the fraternity world but by the public in general, Other work of the fraternity Is Its active interest in the rehabilitating of German refugees, eapeclsDy col¬ lege students who have been ex¬ iled before completion of their school courses. A number ot these former German students have been admitted to American collegeB to complete their studies.
Among prominent members of Sigma Alpha Mu is its President, Benjamin Schwartz of New York, who is head of the American In¬ stitute of Scritp Iron and Steel, and Harry Joo Brov/n, nationally- famous motion picturo director. Others include Irving FInenian,
Mr. Untermyer olTered nnmeronn qnot,itionis of oiliciul Nnzl pro¬ nouncements to prove that the Na¬ zi anti-ChristInn policy is one of the underlying motives of National Socialiam. Ho quoted Hitler aa saying; "It can ho chown that with the appearance of Christianity, ic-< liglous terrorism first' camo into being; and thoi'e is no getting away from tho'fact that tho v/oild haa since coerced nnd dominated by this force, and that force can ha broken only with force and' terror with terror."
Returning to the boycott themo, Mr. Untermyer said;
'It is dl,aloyal,for any Ameiican to buy German goods or to patron¬ ize Gorman sbipa—either for paa- Bonger or freight Dcrvice. 'Dealing with the enemy* is ns traitorous in times of economic war as in times of moro violent forms of warfare. I havo nothing but loathing and contempt for a man of our race (of whom there are unfortunately some in high places) who is so lost to all dictates of sclt-Tespcct, self- preservation and common decency as to traffic as Importer and dia- tribulor of German goods, to aliip goods by oy to travel on German ships, whero he Is studiously mind¬ ed that ho i\ socially beneath the servants whom ho pays to wait upon him. Imagine, if you can, a man who is so callous as to bo willing by choico to travel under the foul flag of the swastika, whero be has be'en pronounced unfit for human asaociation nnd which de¬ nounces and punlahes him by a heavy prison aentence aa a criminal' for matxying ot consorting with a non-Jewish woman. It Is an in* suit to a Jew and a non-Jew allkd to associate with such an excres>. ccnce ot his race. Be diligently on the lookout for sueh crostunig."
author of "Hear Ye Sons," Leo¬ nard S. Levy, Troasnrer of tho City of Cleveland, and Benny Friedman, former Michigan foot¬ ball star, many of whom will nt- tendthcconvcntion sessions. Rab¬ bi. Rudolph Roaentlial will deliver the invocation address, nnd Mayor Harold H. Burton will deliver the address of w'elcomc.
